Luhrmann on Elvis Footage

Baz Luhrmann, the director behind the 2022 'ELVIS' movie hinted he was working on a concert film of never-before-seen footage from the superstar.

At the Met Gala he teased that he may not be quite done with Elvis Presley-related projects, following his Elvis film. The director told The Hollywood Reporter, “The fans really want to know if all that footage we found in the vaults is going to become a concert film and I’m here to say I think it’s gonna happen.” In October, Luhrmann had posted on Instagram that “we’ve found reels and reels of never-before-seen footage of Elvis on Tour and That’s The Way It Is,” telling fans to “stay tuned.” An accompanying video showed a cardboard box with a Warner Bros. label and “Elvis outtakes box” written on the side.
